Krutrim, the AI chatbot launched by Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal, has been giving incorrect responses to users’ queries. Screenshots shared on social media show the chatbot informing users that the 1983 Cricket World Cup was won by the West Indies, that the date today is October 15, 2021 and that Hillary Clinton won the 2014 US Presidential Elections, among other things.
The series of gaffes by Krutrim AI have sparked much amusement on the social media platform X, where screenshots of the chatbot’s responses have been going viral.
When one person asked the chatbot as to who won the Cricket World Cup in 1983, it replied confidently: “The West Indies team won the Cricket World Cup in 1983.” The World Cup was famously won by Kapil Dev-led Team India that year.

Cricket was not the only topic where Krutrim floundered. It informed one user that Hillary Clinton became the US president by defeating Donald Trump in 2014

Don't ask @krutrim AI today's date or else you might time travel to some other era pic.twitter.com/5mXAcWrZOG— Zee (@MhaskarChief) February 27, 2024
And for an AI chatbot launched by the CEO of Ola, it had several unintentionally funny replies. For example, it informed one user that Ola Electric’s direct rival Ather manufactures the best electric scooters in India.
